"Transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLOSRs) has been found to be the main mechanism of gastro-oesophageal reflux." They used the English spelling of "esophageal" but that's GERD! So yes, it helps.

I can't see the article... but I'll take your word for it, and I won't worry about toking up while not feeling well especially since others confirm from personal experience that smoking doesn't seem to make GERD worse.
